THE APEX PRO

Without the magnetic wrist rest the SteelSeries Apex Pro measures 436.7mm in length, 139.2mm in width/depth and 40.3mm in height.

The Apex Pro has a small number of "double" action keys so from F9 through F12 you can switch profiles, enable on-the-fly macro recording and decrease/increase the brightness level of the keys.

You can choose one of the 5 available profiles also from the insert, home, delete, end and page up/down keys.

On the top right corner, we find the OLED display next to a roller and an extra button. Aside giving you live updates on some apps and games via the OLED display you can also change profiles, choose macros, adjust its brightness levels along with the brightness levels of the keys and finally adjust actuation points on the fly (you can also load your very own GIF just like with some of the mice SteelSeries has released to date).

The Apex Pro follows the now typical floating keys design.

Even though the Apex Pro has a single USB 2.0 pass through port we did like the fact that it features a white LED next to it (would be nice if this was also part of the RGB system however).

Here you can see both the OmniPoint and the Gateron RGB Red switches (and yes, the arrow keys should also have OmniPoint switches).

Turning the keyboard over we find three rubber feet, three channels (center, left and right) from where you can route the cable and two rubber coated height adjusters.

These height adjusters raise the top end of the keyboard roughly 18mm from your desk.

The magnetic wrist rest features the soft-touch rubber coating SteelSeries is known for and has a total of 8 rubber feet on its base.

With the magnetic wrist rest attached the width/depth of the Apex Pro increases to 211mm.
